A Scottish-Canadian Blethering On About Books
This is the story of a serial killer who believes himself descended from Jack the Ripper; it has a high ick factor from the gruesome murder methods and gruesome descriptions thereof.

Interesting enough, although I guessed the identity of the unsub very early on. It was too obvious in my opinion. I honestly thought the story was way too far fetched. The typical scenario of an FBI agent being as much of a victim as anyone else, fighting their own demons and becoming the hero in th...
